I Hope Eli Is Traded To Jags

10-28-2017, 01:59 AM

The Giants are wasting Eli Manning's last years in the NFL.
The Jags are a rising team in need of a veteran QB.
Eli deserves a better team.
He will not get another ring with this Giant mess.
Find out what Webb can do.
Time to move forward.
For everyone's sake.

I could not agree more. Would devastate me watching him hoist a trophy somewhere else but we have to set him free.

Something tells me however that regardless of what we as fans want that Eli and ownership have a sense of loyalty and gratitude for one another and both want Eli retiring in NY.

You guys only look at it from a football future perspective but in terms of what Eli brings to the city in terms of charity and other endeavors is not to be trifled with when regarding his departure or retirement.

Something tells me we have a rebound year next year with a 21 year old future hall of famer in the backfield.

As well as Eli Manning. Because that 21 yo future hof will be Saquon Barkley with the third overall pick.

Football gods willing. I pray nightly at the pigskin altar. Pagan gods and all.

PRAISE FOOTBALL JESUS WE NEED A MIRACLE. BRING UNTO US SAQUON, OH PAGAN LORDS OF THE GRIDIRON.

I really do to. Especially with that trade for Dareus. Its time to start experimenting and losing. Get Webb playing time. If he sucks oh well. We need a high pick. Even if itís used to get more picks in a trade down. WE. NEED. A. HIGH. PICK.
If Webb looks good thatís great. Team still stinks. Weíll lose enough but can get linemen or maybe even still possibly Saquon Barkley.

There is no point in keeping Eli on the books here with all the improvements that need to be made to field a team that could compliment what he can still do at this age.

Please Eli. Waive the clause. Make one more great gesture to the Giants organization.

1. it would lead to Mcadoo and Reese both staying put. i don't think anybody wants that. we'd here the "the had a rookie QB throwing to unproven WR" excuse and we would be an abomination of a team next year with the same incompetent HC and GM.

2. you put Webb out there now with practice squad WR, below aberave OL, and the offense gameplan we have seen this year, and he is screwed. he could be the next star for us, but he will not look good out there and will get ripped by the fans imo and people would scream "get Darnold!"

idk about you guys, but Sam Darnold quarterbacking a Mcadoo lead offense sounds like the plot of a bad horror movie.

another thing i want to point out. if Eli were to be traded to say the Jags or Broncos. "it will make them SB contenders right now." idk how people (fans and analyst) can think that. thats not a knock on Eli, he can still play pretty good imo, but in the middle of a season, to be traded to another team, and being someone who plays the most important postion on the field, he would have to learn a whole new playbook(including what's the protection on each play, what route everybody is running, the calls, ect,) as well as getting in sync with all the other players on the field. that does not happen overnight. it would take a month at least to learn all of that.

similar to Bradford when he got traded to the vikings last year, it took him about 3 weeks before he saw the field for them. Eli isn't going to go to another team and have the knowledge of an entire new playbook in a week. it's not possible. Eli is not going anywhere right now. it's just media heads taking.

if its me, im getting through the season, firing Mac and Reese, and fixing the team quick. that means keeping Eli. get Barkley in the 1st and a good OL like Raginow in the 2nd with a HC with a brain and we'll be good.

also want to point out that Eli is probably one of the best teachers to have for Webb. he could help set him up to be sucessful

why would jags do that????
nobody wants to trade a veteran QB who is certainly in decline.........

Exactly.

Not happening. The JAGS wouldnt trade for him. Its funny listening to their fan base too. They know Bortles isnt the answer but in no way shape of form do they want Eli. Not even for free. They know he is a turnover machine at the end of his career with no legs and bad aim. They are actually interested in Drew Brees.
